Yesterday, I let DS (3) have some of my pasta for his lunch as he's always wanting whatever I've got instead of what he's got. I said: you've got some of mummy's special pasta. DS said: but I don't like it. I asked him why and he replied: cos it's got gluten-free in it :lol::D He also said later to DH: mummy's gluten free....to eat!! he's now making sure everything I eat is gluten-free. :) I'm so proud of him. Unfortunately, though, when I sneaked some chocolate later in the day, he came upstairs and found me, gave me a big hug and observed that I smelled of chocolate. Can't have chocolate on the sly anymore..

When I first started this I was sitting down to dinner one day and my 8 year old saw me drinking a glass of water and said "can you have that? Is it gluten-free?" :lol:

I love kids!!

My daughters 5 and 3 always ask if this or that is gluten free! It makes me feel good that they want to "take care" of mommy! They have both agreed that their birthday cakes (coming this summer) should be gluten free- so mommy can have some! Like I said I Love Them!!!!!!

Isn't it so wonderful, that our kids care so much!?! My teenagers help me read labels in the grocery store.

Isn't it amazing what our kids absorb from us? My nine year-old has diagnosed more unknowing celiacs than I have, I think, including his teacher, who he heard complaining of tiredness and abdominal pain, and a boy on his baseball team who was also complaining of the classic symptoms. What extraordinary kids we have!

Kids are way smarter than educated grown ups! :)

They haven't had time to get dumb ideas in their heads yet...

ChelsE- You are so funny.

Mine is my 76 year old Dad- who getss it as best as he can. One day at lunch the waitress brought over a loaf of bread and he looked at her in complete horror and said, 'she can't have that- she's gluten-free," The waitress replied, "Yes, sir, but you can." :P he was like oh yeah, right.

That is sooo cute! :lol:

My daughter Eileen, who is 12, thinks anything and everything that is gluten free just sucks.

Well, for Easter dinner, when my Mom was making the gravy, I gave her my gluten free flour mix and my gluten free stock to put in the gravy as Mom had forgotten to bring the stuff to make the gravy (It's made from the juice in the turkey pan and since the turkey has stuffing in it, I never have the turkey or gravy anyway.......)

Well, we are all sitting down eating and there were three different compliments on how this is the best gravy Mom had made to date. Even Eileen chimed in that it tasted delicious! Mom and I were chuckling the whole time! I couldn't keep it in any longer and told everyone that it my gluten free stuff that created such a wonderful tasting gravy. Eileen's jaw dropped onto her plate! :lol:

Hugs.

Karen

My son is too young yet to have those little idiosyncrasies. But for a laugh, my family exchanges colored Easter eggs on Easter. We write the persons name on it.. and color it and just give it to them.. I got 2 eggs this year, one was a pink one with my name on it. The other was not colored with Gluten Free written on it. I got quite a chuckle out of that.

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Bitters for digestion?

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      Bitters for digestion?

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
